Overview
SPANX isn’t your average company. We revolutionized an industry by challenging the status quo and putting the customer first. You might know the story: our founder, Sara Blakely, needed a base layer for her white pants, so she cut the legs off a pair of tights and SPANX was born. The spark of that origin is the fuel for our future. We grew up in shapewear. But we’ve graduated. For over 25 years, we've been experimenting, innovating, and giving women what they want and what they deserve. Because we are those women. And we’re honored to create on behalf of us all.
We make elevated essentials with confidence built in, because what you put on can change how you show up. Creating items that’ll make you feel great is a matter of the heart—and the lab. In every SPANX product is technology we design and build to highlight, complement, and form your look, just the way you like it. We are a high-growth, innovative and ambitious company and we are embarking on an exciting trajectory of both digital and international expansion.
